Before Summer Rain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH ICJ KLM| Suddenly from all the green around you | A |
| something you don't know what has disappeared | B |
| you feel it creeping closer to the window | C |
| in total silence From the nearby wood | D |
| - | |
| you hear the urgent whistling of a plover | E |
| reminding you of someone's Saint Jerome | F |
| so much solitude and passion come | G |
| from that one voice whose fierce request the downpour | H |
| - | |
| will grant The walls with their ancient portraits glide | I |
| away from us cautiously as though | C |
| they weren't supposed to hear what we are saying | J |
| - | |
| And reflected on the faded tapestries now | K |
| the chill uncertain sunlight of those long | L |
| childhood hours when you were so afraid | M |
